"Scientists are, in general, a dismal bunch. Unloved, unloving, and unlovable. Certainly Sir Isaac Newton and Galileo made few, if any, friends in their adult lives.
There are, of course, exceptions, ones who were good parents. There are also som…
One of the benefits of getting lost is finding things you weren't looking for. One of the detriments of getting lost is finding things you weren't looking for. The discovery of a nondescript door next to a sign with "Comedy Club" is in a trouble c…
Alright, having seen the other four episodes: It's good, and the internet's just whack. It gets better as it goes and by the end is at least as good as the first season of the cartoon was at its end.
They're clearly banking everything on Season Tw…
don't people also think the original cartoon looks better than the remake as well?
I have no horse here since I have never liked Avatar for unrelated reasons but I was also of the impression that people thought it looked bad or at least not as good…
"I hate to be the one to have to tell you this, but the name "Meredith" has been made illegal, and all cars belonging to such persons must be either repossessed or named 'Womble' ".~Scammy McScammerson, in 2005
Dear Reasonable People: "Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it" assumes that I don't want history to repeat, that the past is always inherently worse than the present which is inherently worse than the future, and that the on…
Dear Reasonable People: If you're going to attempt to use set-association as an argument, at least have the decency to acknowledge that's what you're doing and allow me the same privilege. Together we can be free of Logos' tyranny, at least for a …
There is a massive difference between
There is a phrase "truth will out", which is more true than people realize. Every lie is an attempt to delay the inevitable consequences. This is why immortals almost never lie.
And
"There is phrase 'truth wi…
In the interests of fairness, I must point out one of the good points of dialogue and monologue.
While an omniscient narrator can directly give the audience information for the audience to accept and understand, dialogue/monologue both directly give…
"The long answer, according to Facegrab of Ollasall, is that Seccaturies were a solution to the problem of overly powerful families in the last half of the fourth prefabricate era.""But the records clearly agree that the Seccaturies were all sibling…
"What's a Sec'tree?""The short answer is that Seccaturies are equivalent to Minstras, and their deparmins their equivalent to Minstrees.""Thus, the shared 'tree' and 'min' roots, I assume.""Yes, of course. Even the idea of "roots" is phytological s…
Remember, Americans: GET YOUR PAPES IN ORDER.
The deadline for many tax-related and tax-adjacent types of papers is TOMORROW.
It's PI day: Paperwork Intensification day.
Kurosawa never had the best scripts for his movies. He had loads of competitors who had better scripts and better scriptwriters and treated the scriptwriters they did have better, whose movies ended up not being nearly as respected as his. The cri…
I'd also appreciate it if the popular Disney show set in Salt Lake City contained upwards of zero characters of my faith or upwards of zero references to my faith (a show set in the Vatican would certainly mention Catholicism, a show set in Mecca wo…
"But Rozzy, the main pull of the animated show was always the characters and writing!"No, the main pull of the show was originally the road-trip-through-a-fantasy-world setup, the potential for cool fight scenes, and the kid-show humor. People didn…
So, I saw the first few episodes of the new show. It's pretty good, I like it.
By not doing the episode The Northern Air Temple, it's automatically achieved massive props over the original in my book. It also has lots of helmets and hats. I'm a s…
You don't care about the things I care about. I don't care about the things you care about. Given that there exist people who share your concerns, and there do not exist other people who share mine*, the fact that I feel aggravated at the results …
On the one hand, I have some strong ill-feelings towards Democracy, but, on the other hand, I don't want to sound like one of those intellectuals who (1) keep saying that Democracy is doomed and doesn't work, and (2) have been saying so for at least…
